Not bad realy. As another poster said, it may just take time. Keep up the effort.

Why is my chest so saggy, what can I do to correct it and why is my lower chest non-existant? It just tappers off. What can I do to fix that?[/quote]
To be honest you look fine for how long you’ve been training and what your eating. Stick to the compound exercises, by that I mean say for at least 3 months make them the main part of your training programme so you build overall strength and gain mass which will help you in the other exercises because they build up your other muscles which stablise the weight in other various exercises. Stick to your diet as it looks fairly clean.
Your chest will develope but it takes time. I remember when i started training with my gym partner who has been bodybuilding for 15 years. He had an awesome well developed chest but my upper pecs were non-existant compared to my lower and outter pec. All he kept saying to me was don’t worry just train hard and eat right, If you stick at it and put the work in your body will respond. Took 8 months but they just started to grow and filled out so I had a very decent set of pecs.
I wouldn’t worry about anything like fat because you look decent so just try adding some muscle bulk. Gaining fat while your bulking is expected so if you start seeing things you don’t like just start a few sessions of cardio like walking on a steep incline for an hour as often as you see fit or you want (really helped me to lose fat with minimal muscle loss).
Also if your not seeing progress say after a few months DON’T be afraid to change your routine. The thing I notice is with people I know who body build once they find a routine they often never change it even though they stopped experiencing good gains. The thing about body building is its supposed to be fun and a challenge an experiment if you wish to find what works for you so don’t be afraid to try different exercises or routines.
Looks from the pictures that your tri’s could be overpowering you chest development. Therefore I have to second the opinion: go wide grip on the bench press and incline bench (try some wide hand pushups too). This should help take a lot of the tri work out of the equation.

close grip bench press worked well for building up my chest.
Doesn’t that primarily recruit the tri’s?
Wide grip will work the chest more IMO.[/quote]
Not the way most people do them. If you grip in really close (less than one foot distance between your hands), it will be impossible to tuck your elbows, your elbows will flare way out, and you’ll be using your chest heavily to bring in your elbows as you press.
